Good bye 2009...Hello 2010!

As 2009 is coming to a close I thought I'd take a moment to reflect on how our year had it's ups and downs. It's amazing to think that another year has come and gone, the kids are a year old and doing more and more. Family relationships have gotten stronger and we've found out who our real friends are. We had many months with Jason being home and enjoyed some much needed family time. He was blessed with a great job and even though this new assignment is far away, we are thankful he has a job and a great company and crew to work with. Jojo has shown me that she's not only smart but a really good athlete. Jakey has shown me that boys are TRULY different from girls, mostly in a good way. I'm still able to be a stay at home mom, which is something I am truly blessed to be able to do. It's not always easy juggling everything on top of watching other kids, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm still madly in love with my husband after celebrating 13 years of marriage and I'm thankful that he chose me to travel with on this road of life. I've had some new bloggie followers and I love hearing from all of you. Blogging is my way to vent and feel like an adult whilst being among children all day.
I will continue to blog about the goings on in the Cole household, but I'm also going to start something new. Starting tomorrow and every day for the next 365 days, I will list 5 things that have graced my life (GIST - Grace in Small Things). This can be something that happened that day or at any point in my life. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading it on Sassy Times and I hope you will enjoy my GIST as well. My friend Sarahis going to be doing it as well, so go on over and check her out!
